Mineral Specimens

No 1. Fluate of Lime ( transparent, purple and yellow varieties)

From the locality mentioned Long's expedition to the Rocky Mountains Vol 2 p422 & Schoolcrafts travels in the Mississippi valley page 196. Seventeen miles below Shawneetown Illinois

2 Muriate of Lime journal Feb 23 1828 From Onondoga N.Y. I was not informed how it was situated there; but it is prob= ably a deposit from the water of the salt strings about that place

3 Sulphuret of Lead (Galena) From Fever River Illinois.

4 Sulphuret of Lead in a gaugue of Sulphate of Barytes From Paris Ky.

5 Radiated Calc Spar, attached to conglomerate or pudding stone. A large bed of this rock formes the bank of Elk Creek about one mile

[left page] 64 confluence with the great Miami River in Butler Co Ohio. It is mate up of pebbles of various sizes (sometimes I believe of primitive Rock) cemented together by carbonate of Lime. The surface is in many places covered with the calc spar, of which this is a specimen sometimes to the thickness of an inch. It was quarried there and used in the construction of two or three of the Locks on the Miami Canal.

The bed of the Miami river through which the canal passes is mostly made up of gravel covered with a thin stratum of Black vegetable mould. When these pebbles are exposed in constructing the canal to the air they become cemented by carbonate of lime very strongly in a few days

The simple modifications are thus named and defined. 1. Cirrus Parallel flexuous or diverging fibers extending in any or in all directions

2 Cumulus Convex or conical heaps, increasing upwards from a horizontal base 3 Stratus. A widely extended continuous horizontal sheet increasing from below.

The intermediate modifications which require to be noticed are. 4. Cirro- Cumulus. Small well defined roundish masses in close horizontal arrangement. 5. Cirro-Stratus.
